FOR A WARM ENGINE-Gas Engine
Return choke to the “off” position as soon as the engine starts.
STOPPING THE ENGINE-Gas Engine
Before leaving the operator’s station:
1. Park the machine on a level surface and lower loader bucket, backhoe bucket and any
other accessories to the ground.
2. Engage park brake.
3. Place the throttle midway between the “slow” and “fast” position. Allow the engine to
run at least 15 seconds before stopping the engine. Then move to the “slow”
position.
4. Turn the key switch to the “off” position.
5. Move hydraulic control levers to release hydraulic pressure from the system.
COLD WEATHER STARTING-Diesel Engine
1. Place throttle control midway between the SLOW and FAST positions.
2. Turn the key switch to the PREHEAT position, hold until the glow plug indicator lamp goes
out, then release switch.
3. Turn the key switch to the START position and the engine should start. Release the key
immediately when the engine starts. (If the engine fails to start, repeat steps 2 and 3.)
NOTE: Do not operate starter for more than 10 seconds without allowing 30 seconds to
pass between starting attempts. Possible starter damage could result from excessive heat
caused by cranking too long.
4. Warm up the engine at mid throttle without load. Insufficiently warming an engine can
shorten its service life.
NOTE: If the engine develops sufficient speed to disengage the starter but does not keep
running (a false start), the engine rotation must be allowed to come to a complete stop
before attempting to restart the engine. If starter is engaged while the flywheel is rotating,
the starter pinion and flywheel ring gear may clash, resulting in damage to the starter or
flywheel ring gear.
NOTE: If the starter does not turn the engine over, stop cranking immediately. Do not make
further attempts to start the engine until the condition is corrected. See your local Kubota
Engine Service Dealer for trouble analysis
FOR A WARM ENGINE-Diesel Engine
Follow the same starting procedure as described for cold weather starting. Use of the glow
plugs may not be necessary on a warm engine, and use of the glow plugs is not recommended
in temperatures above 41° F.
IMPORTANT: Always check all the engine warning lights when starting. If the oil pressure
light remains on, immediately stop the engine and check for the cause
